Thanks all, wasn't really sure what was going on here... I will take a look at setting up a proper firewall (iptables).On 01/14/2011 02:40 AM, Norman Peelman wrote:Hello all,I've got a server with name based virtualhosts. I am getting spammers from various countries and would like to block these IP ranges. But I can't seem to figure out how to block them. How can I block them by default for the entireserver?

Deny from ip range </Directory>http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authz_host.html#order Allow,DenyFirst, all Allow directives are evaluated; at least one must match, or the request is rejected. Next, all Deny directives are evaluated. If any matches, the request is rejected. Last, any requests which do not match an Allow or a Deny directive are denied by default.So your rule doesn't block anything, because you have an 'allow all'. So either change the order to 'Order deny,allow' or remove the 'allow from all' line.If you really want to block IP addresses so they can't even reach your webserver, you should use a firewall.Joost ---------------------------------------------------------------------The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info.
